Last Fri I came home to find Eirfan hobbling around. I asked what happened to his foot. He said maybe I walked too much today. I said seriously? Then he changed his answer and said, maybe I sat too long. My no-nonsense-please look made him said, I ran in school, fell down and hurt my leg. Most likely answer.
He limped so badly that we took him to the clinic where the doctor said, if that toe is not broken then the tendon might have been injured (literally the doctor said, kalau jari tu tak patah, tendon dia putus. Brutal pulak doctor punya answer pun..)
He gave a referral letter for an xray at the hospital. We hang around at the hospital for the xray, for the doctor, for the specialist, for the bill. It was almost midnight by the time we left. The orthopaedic said Eirfan had fractured bones at his toe. Eirfan came home happy, though - he got an MC for two weeks!
Two days later he was leaving for tuition. I was late from the office so he had bandaged his foot on his own. It looked loose so I undid it and rebandaged it again for him. When done, I asked him is this ok or too tight? He said it is comfortable (his actual word was sedap-sedap je).
I asked, do you know why it is "sedap"? He said no, why? I said sebab mama buat bandage ni dengan kasih sayang. He grinned.
Later that night after his Isya' I bandaged his foot again and asked the same question. He replied, sebab mama buat dengan kasih sayang. We laughed together. I slept well that night.
